! the political question having the pref
erence. There appears to be consider
able opposition to the bonds among the
more remote residents of the county.
But few men who look at the question
calmly and weigh carefully both sides
of it, will make any great objection to
the bonds. Theofact that every tax
payer in the county will get value re-
ceived in due time for every cent of
railroad bond tax he pays, is being
pretty we'll established in the minds of
the people.

to say on the recent uncalled for action
of few overzealous republicans, and
the presidents answer to the same, on

the state line with the snOots outward,
and they will present a front of pork
around the entire state. Start the
sheep three abreast from the base line
of the survey along the sixth principal
meridian and let them follow four to

in the Indian Territory, while the last
will be whisking their tails in Neb-
raska. Let the horses and mules go

II MAY not be generally known that
Great Bend is, as a rule, better mark
ct than Kansas City for the crop and
stock products of our county. To-day
fat hogs are being contracted for at 5
cents, which is 10 per cent. better than
the Kansas City market. Taking the
year round, all kinds of butchers stock
commands a better price right here in
Great Bend than can be realized by
shipping to Kansas City. This is the
result of the opening up of the western
market, and the demand of stock for
home consumption. All the new coun-
ties north, south and west of us have
rapidly settled up within the last year,
and the country being new sufficient
stock and PRODUCERS not raised to feed
this multitude. Better railroad facili-
ties will enable us to get still better
prices for the result of our labor.

rapid completion, until to-day we

The cars are roOmy, substantially
built, handsomely finished, and are in
every respect as good as the cars of
any metropolitan city. This street
railway has been put in at large ex-
pense by the company, they sparing no
pains or money to have everything
done in first class order, and as a re-

we were performing an act of charity

This rate Is fifty per cent. in advance
of the rate unlawfully allowed the
Tribune last year by the commission
crs. We say unlawfuly because a
contract between that paper and the
county was at the time In force
which specified an even lower rate.
The credit does not belong on that
side of the house, and so long as we
are permitted to occupy our very
humble position in this community
we are not going to see it misplaced,
even at the risk of becoming the OBJ
ject of the venom and specious rea-

1t may be that Stevens county tax
payers are fools enough to allow their
money to be flched from them 80
